Marine Connection has been alerted to the capture of 20 dolphins in the Solomon Islands. Following another illegal dolphin capture in 2003 where several of the animals were exported to a captive facility Mexico, a ban was put in place by the Solomon Islands Government; however it appears this ban covers only the export of dolphins from the islands and does not include captures destined for the local market.

The charity needs only five minutes of your time to help release the recently captured dolphins.

Please click onto the link below and email the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands expressing your concern that these captures have been allowed to proceed despite the ban, and urge the Solomon Islands government to demand the immediate release of the captured dolphins.
